How AI video production works at Ody.Next

How it works

Four rules,
no exceptions.

A human at the wheel. AI under the bonnet. Slop is what happens when nobody is steering.

01

Story First

Script before pixels. If it can't be pitched in one line, it isn't ready.

Story first
02

World Building

The world is locked first. Characters, environments, lighting, palette and lens language constructed first. Every shot inherits the world created, and is blocked in 3D before anything is generated.

CHARACTERENVIRONMENTLOOK
03

Cut Like It'S Real

Video generations are similar to takes from a film set. Shots are extracted from multiple takes. Edited and refined for pacing, sound and grade.

Cut like it's real
04

Human Creativity In The Loop

We work together on the creative. Twelve years of broadcast post production expertise applied to generated footage.

The plan vs the video

A T-Rex Through Time.

Every shot was blocked in 3D before anything was generated. Drag across the picture to see the plan become the video.

*Note: video previz is a guide only. High energy scenes may use different prompting strategies to achieve the best results. This will be communicated openly during the production process.

Concept Lock

  • Script locked
  • Look locked: lighting, palette, lens language
  • Nothing renders before this
03

Boards & Previz

  • Storyboard for every scene
  • One hero still for every scene
  • Shots blocked with primitive 3D blocks: camera, lens, timing, scale
  • Primitive blocks work best with AI generations
  • Environments and characters built
  • Cheap to change here, expensive later

Motion
